To clear up understanding(s), of the variable differences between/among:

upper class

a thin line between here and down below, & broad lines between other countries, political parties and sexes, especially homosexuals

middle class, thinner lines up, broader down and broader enough to allow shooting trespassers (make up your own definition, as you chose..from time to time & being a judge help earning a decent living) in the back, not a fair fight, just game, not "a game", especially if you wear a badge

lower class, no line at all about property, if you dress and walk right, better yourself by picking the right religion (subject to detached determination)

fair pay, for my class, nobody else matters

stealing, for my class, nobody else matters

thievery. not me or my kids, everybody else

rights of knights, loyality to the king, do what he tells you, his god-given right

God, immortally above the line, above them above, before & forever after, but never sure there was a before... before... then...you know when I mean...or after the aftermath.

GE's message:"This may be my last chance to sent an email the last person on earth to read one from me. For example, on the 80s, by surgeon told me 2% in a hundred I would die on the table the next day. Without having risked another life insurance policy, I would stop supporting Giana, David and Shirl. I won the (another...free) bet. I won another 30 years, w/Giana, and 28 for Shirley & (maybe) a few more years for me, Giana, David and Khai, if David doesn't continue to cut the strings, time after the time.

On 1946 Xmas Eve in Yokosuka, alone in the Naval Officer's Club, I gambled for my first time, lost my last penny, and determined not to gamble anything, ever, again.

Another, immediate, stupid bet, life and glory are both inexorable gambles and the stakes become inexorably high...willed to me by chance, unintended & undauntedly byShirl.

Thesingle stake turned out: LIFE in the Universe(s), UNTIL THEEND OF ALEPH, based on Intelligent Life, MY remaining life... judgement and some impossibly knowable-in-advance LUCK, including but not limited to whether/or/not YOU read, understand & appreciate ANY OF THIS.Neffertiti, lost her bet, at least... onlyAten... remains; as an itty-bitty asteroid, notSol,nor trillions of trillions ofSoles, and nobody believes he is God, few inonly one GOD: unless eventually, w/some impossibly knowable-in-advance LUCK (which Einstein never believed in), by Shirl (whom I always believed in, but you and David never imagined or grasped), (somehow too complex to explain here), YET, remained/became a conduit of beliefin "only one GOD", w/o side-tracks via Abraham and Saint Peter.

Hang on, I'll eventually get there.

Religion (&souls), in my opinion,are notessentialto block total extinction,nor even essentialfor intelligent life. However, belief in Science, a form of knowledge,isessentialto preserve life at all, including but not limited to conscious thought and belief in God or anything: (whatever you consider important for life enjoyment, or belief in personal immortality)is only a flourish.

Not too closely related: Clothing (fur, chaps, pants or living under water)is essential, but the designs on the sleeves are fashions (and forms of war).

If souls do not perpetuate spontaneously, by religion or God(s); Science may, if intelligent creation's wish to, create them, including but not limited tomy words, creatingShirltition Ex0Earth I, or in any ancient galaxy, both also named after Shirl &/or Nefertiti.

What are the odds, what and how much: Silly speculation, inspired intelligence, globally inspired intelligence, limitlessSic parvis magna, money in the bank, millions in the bank,trillions in the bank,in your bank &/or my account(s), googles.googleplexes, ofhomo sapien sapiens. Times several Alters of limitless intelligent humans &/or robots, super robots, extra robots, all intelligent-life-form-brains interconnected teams,forgotten tomorrow, forever; I died tomorrow, all, and Shirl, then are gone; Newton was addled by an apple, speechless Hawking dreamed, Einstein picked up the thread(s) of gravity,CERN just found the what's-it,up, down, sideways gizmos, smaller than protons,(or electrons) intercommunicating faster than light, intelligencia'sreading Shirl's books in dozens, thouands, of languages, including but not limited to entertainment but also the Special Pages (invented by me), to save their ownand 30% of other local lives:Sic transit gloria mundi... tuesday, wednesday... forever & ever past all sundies.

Let me get off the Bus... will you ever get on... or won't you ever get on ...ever.Thebiggest oddsare on, and thebiggest payoffs,are:Mestaying the bus. The next most important is you ever getting on (andcollecting your payoff)...David and most, of my ever possible connections, never got/will-get on.
